Concerning Unsymn etrical Noses.

No portion of the IGysiognomy is so
vital in its relation to bcauty as the nose,
and nothing is rarer than to see one per-
feet in form. Hope for those who are
ashamed of their misshapen noses is now
offered by writer in The Medical Record,
who claims to have satisfactorily treated
a number of funsymmetrical organs of
smell. The operation, which is performed
with the use of cocaine, is painless, and
consists in the removal from the end Of
the nose of that tissue which is in excess
or which Is dispropor tionate In amount to
the other portions OF the nose" In this
way knobbed nose can be made purely
Grecian. II the physicians views are cor
rect, there is a chance that 100 years from
now admirable noses may be as plentiful
as they were In the time of Socrates The
Epoch. mi

and children to join IL the mad ecstasy.
Some Of the more serious mpn, indeed,
fed to other tribes, md that only FASTENED
the downfall Of this one. For the others
at once made conquest. The prowess Of
this tribe was not so easily weakened BY
drunkenness that they. yielded with no
struggle. On the contrary, they aroused
from their torpor and fought many hard
fights, but were steadily beaten, and
when finally the men Of Wambango, to
which town we shall come In few days,
overcame the remnant Of brave and capa-
BILE men in this tribe, they had such re-
spect for the ancient reputation Of the
people that they deemed It advisable, In
stead Of putting the king to death, to ap-
point him nominal ruler over his old dis
trict, hoping that he would continue In
his habits and thus keep his people from
regaining their old time prowess.. And
such was the result To this day the king
drains the palm trees of their juices to
make wine, and his companions have
sunk to the lowest depths of baseness,
andsa continual destruction of all things
useful to themselves is continued. One
by one they rapidly die, and in few
years they will cease to exist
The doctor sent word of his arrival to
the king, and waited for command to
approach the royal presence it was long
before it came, but finally, about $50, q
messenger came to the raft bearing e.
gourd Of wine as an offering, and saying
that presently the king would receive the
white man. A little later DIR. Harrison
went up the bank and approached the
hut, hardly distinguished from the squalor
of the Others in the village, where the
king sat. He was stupid, cruel looking
African, sitting on log under his avn
ing, very drunk. The doctor made pro-
found salalns, and addressed him through
an Interpreter, with friendly greeting.
Good" grunted the king; ssbut has
the white man drunk my Wine?''
ssOh, king responded the doctor, 1.-THE
white man drinks no wine of any kline.
Be pleased, therefore, to accept his friend
ship as all the more kindly while he uses
not your gift"
The king was vastly displeased and few
into rage He insisted that all men in
his country knew the taste of wine and its
pleasures, and no one was a true friend
of the land who rejected its choicest fruit
And when the doctor still refused to drink
the king rose to his feet uNsteadily. stag
gered to n post of his hut, and leaning
heavily upon it, called out in loud but
broken tones that the stranger should be
instantly put to death. The interpreter
who understood the command did not
wait to translate, but picked the doctor up
in his arms and ran with him to the river,
followed by tic other natives who were
serving as the wiate mans crew. It was
an easy retreat, for SO STEPPED in wine
were the kings attendants that they cc
make but stupid pursuit. Congo
